.tar and .zip files |
these can be opened with winzip on a pc, and stuffit on a mac. if it is not a registered extention for winzip on a pc, this will cause us problems. is everyone having troubles with .tar on a pc?
if so, we should probably change to .zip (but old enough to work with pkzip...)

Re: .tar and .zip files |
Seems like I will have to buy the program for windows as the zip decoder that comes with XP will not work with tar

Re: .tar and .zip files |
if it is a .tar.gz does winzip recognize it? I dont have a pc here, or I would try it.

Re: .tar and .zip files |
PowerArchiver is an alternative that handles .tar .tar.gz and .tar.bz2.
If you are ok with a command line, install CygWin on your Windows box and you can actually use "tar" and "gzip" ;-)

Re: zip utilities with tar support |
Winzip does support .tar, I just installed it yesterday. :)
Previously I used an old version of Netzip which I found does
not apparently support .tar.
While browsing around, I found a mention of
Easyzip, freeware that supports .tar.

Re: zip utilities with tar support |
WinAce handles all these, so does WinZip and WinRar, they are not freeware but have no limitations whatsoever in the nonregistered versions
